How to put baby car seat in shopping cart? Put your car seat in the cart, so that it’s facing backwards. This way you can keep an eye on baby while you shop.
Tips on How to put the baby car seat in shopping cart
- If necessary, tie a scarf or large bath towel around the handles of the shopping cart to prevent unintentional movement of your baby carrier during transport.
- While this is not strictly required for most babies, if yours falls asleep in their infant car seat, they may be more inclined to move about and potentially fall out when placed into a shopping cart with no extra support other than what’s provided by thin plastic handlebars.
- As always make sure there are no small objects like loose change or pens within reach – these could pose choking hazards if left unchecked!
- Also, note that many localities require both hands-frees to operate a shopping cart, so keep your diaper bag stowed in the basket with all other groceries until you are safely out of the store.
What week should you install a baby car seat?
If you are confused about when it is the right time to install a baby car seat, we have got your back. Here’s a week-by-week guide on how and when should you do this:
Week 36 – Your doctor will most likely order an ultrasound at this time in your pregnancy. At around the same date, he/she might also recommend that your child sit rear-facing in his or her car seat until they reach their second birthday.
So if possible, get one with rear-facing capabilities before installing it in your vehicle. If not possible due to budget constraint, go ahead and buy one with forward-facing capability so that you can use it as soon as possible after installation of safety seats becomes mandatory according to the law.
During week 37 – Make a list of the things you need to buy for your newborn and familiarise yourself with where they are available in your area because it may be difficult to find what you want during those first few days after delivery, especially if there’s an emergency that forces you out of home without anything at all!
Week 38 – Prepare now for those sleepless nights ahead by stocking up on diapers, bottles/formula milk, clothes and other necessary items before going into labour as this is one task that isn’t easy or fun to do during a time when everything else seems hard too!
If possible try not to go shopping alone either because finding parking spaces around the hospital can be very tedious even if you’re not in labour!
Week 39 – It is also important to make sure that your home is ready for the baby by doing things like washing all of his/her clothes, sterilizing bottles and buying or making a safe place for him/her to sleep.
This ensures they are kept out of harm’s way when they arrive because once he/she arrives it can be incredibly difficult to suddenly get everything done on top of looking after them too!
Week 40 – If possible try not shopping alone either because finding parking spaces around the hospital can be very tedious even if you’re not in labour!
Once again congratulations on your new arrival but don’t forget about yourself as mama needs some extra TLC herself so look after her too!
Week 41 – Babies love to be talked and sung too so make sure you speak in a high pitched voice, sing or read him/her stories.
Week 42: Finally we come down to week 42 which means only another three weeks until he’s one month old and it feels like the half term has already crept up on us all yet again doesn’t it? I’m done with my list but there are still a few things I want to do before the baby arrives such as finishing decorating the nursery and making sure that we have everything for him/her.
When should you install a baby car seat?
Your baby should be in a car seat while you are driving. It is illegal for them to ride without one, and it also reduces their risk of injury or death if the car were to crash. The best time to install your child’s car seat would be:
When they can sit up unassisted
When they turn two years old (or reach that height/weight)
While this may seem early, studies show that children under two have fewer injuries when riding in a rear-facing position than those over age two who ride forward-facing because there is more support from the back of the vehicle with an infant carrier versus just sitting on a regular chair strapped into a five-point harness system as older kids do.
Keep in mind that children should remain rear-facing until they are at least two years old.
Wherever your child’s car seat is installed, it must be properly anchored to the vehicle by using either the lower anchors or tether strap depending on your particular model of the car seat and what age/weight requirements your manufacturer recommends.
Make sure both straps are tight so there isn’t any wiggle room for movement when crash testing is done in front of each car seat before it’s released onto stores shelves.
Even if you have a newer vehicle with LATCH (lower anchor technology), always use the top tether strap too because this will reduce forward head motion during an accident since most brands require that these types of harnesses need more than just one way to secure them into place.
